Global warming causes global climate change and the balance between fire and water is destroyed. If global warming continues, the forces that cause natural disasters will be activated and disasters can be expected to follow one after another.
If the global warming is not mitigated, catastrophic event could follow such as an explosion of the earth nucleus. This explosion would destroy the physical and spiritual life on Planet Earth.

Prince Charles drew parallels between the industrial economic model and the nature eco model. He called “Nature as the biggest bank”. And as we are reviewing our connection with the bank system in the time of the credit crunch with the same importance we need to review our westernized model of consumption. One of the identified problems in his outline is that developing countries also adopt that western model and by acknowledging it is wrong we are responsible for the actions of the entire earth population. Of course he stressed that our industrial revolution over the centuries was not meant to disconnect us from our planet, but to improve our well-being. Unfortunately as a result we landed in a situation of “not keeping to our part of the bargain and the entire system is collapsing and in failing the Earth we are failing Humanity”.
A couple of examples have been given – the thickness of Arctic sea ice has reduced by 40% in the last 50 years; the reducing of the rainforest -”the planets lifebelt” by 1/3 since 1950s; poisoning the top soil layer that grows our food with chemically based agriculture…

In the sense of comparing our economic problems with eco problems Prince Charles has described “as true wealth our clean rivers, healthy soil and most importantly of all, a rich biodiversity of life”.
And so what can be done? Prince Charles talked about “our ability to adapt to the effects of climate change, and then perhaps even to reduce those effects, which depends upon us adapting our pursuit of “unlimited” economic growth to that of “sustainable” economic growth.” He suggested for us to develop “joined-up thinking” that seeks to create harmony…Our bodies have to be in harmony if they are to be healthy, just as an entire ecosystem has to be.” He also described that very important shift in our consciousness – from the “mechanistic approach to one that is more balanced and integrated with Nature’s complexity”.
If we look at our globalizing world and we must honestly acknowledge that by implementing a global way of life from the top to the bottom we have been going it into the wrong direction (again). Our globalization in order to be successful has to run parallel with sustaining our identities and the richness of our cultural differences. This means that more thoughts and political strategies must be adopted in supporting the “local” life of communities and developing links and connections from “root” to top. We need a new strong private and public sector which includes partnerships with NGO, communities and small businesses. A very interesting idea is creating an “Accounting for Sustainability” a method by which businesses can take proper account of the cost to the earth of their products and services”, as well as looking for “new forms of international collaboration to value ecosystem services”.
A couple of examples have been given such as the Rainforest Project, the relationship between waste, energy and water sector “where the waste product of one process becomes the raw material of another”. A lot of useful solutions are at hand but new political thinking is still to come. Prince Charles is a great supporter of the sustainable urbanism, the so called “Natural House”. “This approach emphasizes the integration of mixed-use buildings and the use of local materials to create local identity which, when combined with cutting-edge developments in building technology, can enhance a sense of place and real community.”

Some British media have called the lecture “apocalyptic”. But Prince Charles’s assessment was realistic and very proactive. In his speech he made a point of where we came from and where we go to by stressing on the core of our humanity problems and therefore suggesting the core solutions. Arguably this lecture can become a turning point – a manifesto, an opening of a new page of our existence on this planet. It does deliver strategies for the future in what seem to me to be the ONLY right way of doing it. By acknowledging our presence in nature as part of it and not isolated from it and by deciding to DO something rather than continue to ignore our reality. It does sound optimistic and very uplifting in the environment of approaching climate change summit in December 2009 and in his believes that we still “can transform our relationship with the earth that sustains us”. After all there are 96 months left, aren’t they, or at least Prince Charles has given this credit to us.
Prince Charles delivered a powerful, thought-provoking speech. The world’s leaders and key opinion formers are increasingly in step with his farsightedness about the value we should attach to our planet. Let us only hope that the politicians’ words mean concrete strategies to protect our natural world; the era of platitudes has passed.
